Your not from around here are you?

[EvilM0nkey]

Can you take a picture of the burned spot and post it for us?

[Tim Fischer]

Yes please post a picture of the burn spot. Also who is the "installer" - and how versed are they on LOR products?

[audirick75]

the burn spot is between 2 of the legs on the board under the triack where it goes into the board if you look at the board frome side angle across the board the burn spot looks to go all the way threw .installer wise it is a local electronics repaire shop and parts allied electronics.

[Tim Fischer]

I would expect an electronics repair firm to be able to fix that, if it's as minor as you suggest (perhaps using jumper wires or some such)

[audirick75]

dan thank you for the speedy replacement the show will go on.....thanks so much for the help......

And what was the fix?

[rwertz]

^{Based on audirick75’s comment, I’m guessing the board was replaced. From previous experience, I know LOR is not thrilled about repairing burnt PC boards. There are concerns that the damage could possibly cause a failure in the future.}

[Gman7711]

Any guess as to the cause of something like this? Overload?

[rwertz]

Overload (drawing too much current from one channel) would probably just take out the TRIAC. A burned spot on the board seems to be common with bugs getting places they shouldn’t. The repair shop mentioned a short on the board. If that was there from new, it could have caused it.
